In the Pacific Flyway, cinnamon teal are far more common than blue-wings. The hens look alike and the habits of both species are similar.
The pale blue forewing patch is the best field mark, as drakes are usually in eclipse until January or longer.
Drakes have a whistling peep; hens utter a low quack.

I'm not sure I have ever seen one... Never had an interest in bird watching.
